B1 writing tip

Не пиши только список идей. Каждая главная идея должна иметь reason или example.

Reason, example and balanceOpinion paragraph builderСильный opinion paragraph: мнение, причина, пример, контраст, вывод.
B1 formula: I think... + because... + For example... + However... + To sum up....
Слабое место: фраза “I think it is good” слишком общая. Добавь причину и конкретный пример.

Примеры

Example 1. Opinion paragraph

In my opinion, learning English online is a good idea for busy adults. It is useful because students can study at a comfortable time. For example, they can watch a lesson in the evening after work. However, it is important to practise speaking with real people too. That is why I think online learning is helpful, but it should include communication practice.

Example 2. Weak → better

Weak: I like sport. It is good. I like football.

Better: I think sport is important because it helps people stay healthy. For example, playing football with friends is good exercise and also helps people relax.

Example 3. Balanced opinion

Although smartphones are very useful, people should not use them all the time. They help us work and communicate, but they can also distract us from family and study.

Example 4. From weak to stronger opinion

Weak: Online learning is good.

Better: In my opinion, online learning is useful because students can study at home and repeat difficult lessons. For example, I often watch grammar videos twice before doing exercises. However, some students need a teacher to stay motivated.

Почему хорошо: есть opinion, reason, example and balanced contrast.
